Reinvent The Wheel Hackathon - Charlotte

Reinvent The Wheel is an intensive 24-hour hackathon to be held at CenterStage@NoDa in Charlotte, NC

The goal for the hackathon’s participants was to create technology that would be a disruption in the tire industry. Their task was to take vehicle registration data, historical sales figures, and demographic data and put them into an algorithm that could alter the way the industry buys and sells tires. Partnered with ATD resources and support, 85 participants in 17 teams were tasked to build a machine learning model that accurately predicts units of sale for a particular distribution center for a specific tire category.
